Christian (wrestler)

Return to WWE (2009 - 2013)

Christian won Del Rio at the Extreme Rules PPV Show in the Ladder Match, and won his first world heavyweight title . While Del Rio was already practically pulling out his belt, Edge came by car and distracted him, after which Christian threw the ladder from Del Rio into the ring. At the next SmackDown !, general manager Theodore Long scheduled a duel for the Christian title, where Randy Orton became the champion's opponent. The latter was able to win and become the new champion. A rematch on Over The Limit does not bring Christian victory, but Christian gets a second chance. At the Capitol Punishment, Christian again lost the match to Orton and never received the champion title, due to a mistake by the judge who did not notice Christian’s foot on the rope during the hold. On July 1, Christian defeated Sin Karu and thereby again received the right to fight for the championship. At the end of the program, Christian and Orton signed an agreement in the ring to hold a match for PPV “Money In The Bank”, but Shimus ran into the ring, beat both of them and broke the contract.

He returned to Over the Limit (2012) and immediately won the royal battle, and a little later, at the same PPV, he won the title of intercontinental champion from Cody Rhodes and became a face. He later stated that he would now do everything to get into the hall of fame after Edge. At PPV, No Way Out successfully defended his intercontinental champion title from Cody Rhodes.
